Where's good, and when.

Say when you're free, how far you'll go and what you'll spend. Alani ranks the coasts by how often they're actually good that month, from ten years of swell, then tells you how long it takes to get there and where you can stay.

Ranked by the ocean first (how often that month reads Good), then by whether the trip length fits the flight, the breaks fit your level, and a camp fits your budget. Hours are door-to-door estimates. Flights are the cheapest return we last saw for that month, with the date; camp prices are the camps' own. A trip total is flight plus the cheapest priced camp for your nights, nothing else.
